02:00pm Andreas Amsler from Liip: Open APIs for fun and profit

Abstract: Why having an Open API? Companies are exposing their valuable data as APIs, and – if done right – developers love to make use of them. What are best practices for creating new customer reach, unlocking innovation, and business value in such ways? What does it mean to be ubiquitous for a company, and why would developers onboard?
